Commence Agent Benitez!

Benitez's contract with Chelsea is an 18 month deal. Not sure why he's been described as "interim" manager.

Not that contract lengths mean anything with that shower

Rafa Benitez (2007): We don't need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave, our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us to win matches, not flags. Chelsea fans lack passion.

That contradicts the article on the Chelsea website saying interim manager until the end of the season.

Nooooo!! This is no good for me anywhere but in the EPL...hope he does well but not too well!

One of the lads in work today (a United fan) - "I suppose Rafa will claim that he signed Suso and Sterling?"

Mourinho will be rubbing his hands with glee. No doubt texting Terry and Lampard as I write.

I'm confused. Why are Chelsea saying an interim until the end of the season, and others are saying an 18 month contract?

So Torres and Rafa have been secretly placed by Liverpool on an undercover mission to **** up the chavs.

Benitez will sell Hazard, Oscar and Mata to us in January for £1 each and buy Downing for £50 million.

Operation Anfield in full swing.

Barrett seems certain it's 18 months.

[Fredo]

Guardian are reporting that he'll try to bring Skrtel there.

Have a hard time believing Rafa would take one of our best players and **** us over like that... but our hopes and expectations have been dashed many times

[RoadEnd]

hopefully it's carra. i used to moonlight at chelsea while managing l'pool in FM and buy the Liverpool dross for tens of millions then resign and concentrate on Liverpool - maybe that's what he's at

Carragher for £25 million
